The BBFC will decide which content should be blocked by default online in the UK

"The lack of knowledge amongst the general public about the pending age verification requirements for adult content should be alarming, especially to the Government," said Stuart Lawley.

Stuart is the CEO of AVSecure, the company that commissioned the survey – and one of the firms creating age verification software that'll give you access to smut in the UK.

The porn block was originally supposed to be sent live in April this year, but a recent delay pushed the deadline back to December 2018.

"The delay of the introduction of the Digital Economy Act allows us to ensure there will be a number of different age verification providers for consumers to choose from, and who users decide to go with will affect who has access to their personal data," explained Stuart.

The Government's plan to block all porn by default in the UK has faced heavy criticism, unsurprisingly.

Speaking to The Sun earlier this month, top lawyer Myles Jackman said that there are serious dangers.

"The big risk is that the data from the user is not held securely, and that their privacy is violated when that data is hacked or breached," Jackman, who works for digital advocacy firm Open Rights Group, told us.

He said that a breach is "ridiculously likely to happen", and will affect huge swathes of the UK population.
